Every issue of The Vibe Room begins with someone deciding to share their work.

These excerpts are just a glimpse into the poems and essays featured in Issue 11. They challenged us, comforted us, and stayed with us long after we turned the page. We hope they do the same for you.

Now we’re looking for the next voices to feature.

If you’ve been writing quietly, editing the same piece over and over, or waiting for the right moment to share your work, consider this your invitation.

We’re currently accepting:
• Poetry
• Personal essays
• Creative nonfiction
• Short fiction
• Scripts

We’re especially interested in work that lingers, sparks conversation, and offers a perspective only you can bring.

Submissions close July 31, so there’s less than two weeks left to submit.

📍DMV & Baltimore writers are especially encouraged to submit.
